The Shebeen Pub & Braai
Michael’s Bistro & Tap House
With a full menu of authentic South African dishes, the Shebeen is owner Walter Slawski’s interpretation of his magical African childhood. Try traditional dishes like peri peri chicken or sadza cakes, or enjoy a comforting British meal like fish & chips or shepherd’s pie. Weekend brunch service is especially popular with a range of hearty plates and specialty mimosas. Late night pub hours are the perfect time to grab a swing at the rustic outdoor bar and listen to live music with a drink in hand.
One of the East Coast’s first true craft beer tap houses, Michael’s Bistro has been serving up chef-driven, locally sourced New American cuisine alongside carefully curated draught and bottled beer selections since 1994. Located across the street from the historic University of Virginia campus, Michael’s offers a cozy bistro ambience in the heart of the bustling Corner. Boasting the best balcony in Charlottesville, Michael’s is the perfect place for a quick lunch, leisurely dinner, or a fantastic beer or craft cocktail any time of the day or night.
